Purrash qeryane d-tarar (lege: tetra) ewangaliyon d-Maran I sho' Mshina. Lectionary of the four
gospels of our Lord Jesus Christ. Despite the literal meaning of the title, this is a text of the four
gospels. However, the continuous text is broken by titles that indicate the liturgical date or
occasion when a particular pericope is supposed to be read. The text is in the Harkleian version,
not the Peshitta. Cf. BAUMSTARK, 188 f., n. 6.

Contents:
Ff. la-222b: =[1~;- 2.:1~ . [Ktaba d-penqitaJ. Hymnary for Sundays and feasts, for
the Fast and for commemorations. Cf. BAUMSTARK, pp. 45-52. The title that is pasted on the
spine of the manuscript reads: ~:U:SQ 2.:1!3 l.»Q~Q 1~~ 1oX.;-a.a;- 1~ Penqita d-
quddash 'edta w-sawma rabba w-qaddishe. Volume (of the hymnary) of the sanctification of the
Church, of the great Fast and the Saints. However, this does not reflect accurately the contents
of the manuscript, especially in its present state.
a) Ff. la-4b: Nativity. Inc. at the beg. Probably a lacuna btw. ff. 1/2. The
manuscript doubtlessly began with the Sundays of the Dedication of the Church. F. 10 is the
final leaf of the 6th gathering, so that f. 1 probably belonged to the 5th gathering. Therefore,
well over 40 leaves must be missing at the beginning, which would have contained the offices for
the Sundays of the Dedication of the Church and the season of the Annunciation and, perhaps,
one or more commemorations.
b) Ff. 4b-llb: Mother of God.
c) Ff. llb-17a: Slaying of the Children (Mt. 2:16-18).
d) Ff. 17a-20b: Sts. Basil and Gregory.

Ff. 1b-137b: Pontifical ritual. Cf. BAUMSTARK, 200, n. 5. The of this
manuscript was Abdisho" Metropolitan of Gazarta. He was ordained by Yonannan Sulaqa, who
was ordained by Pope Julius III of Rome. He himself succeeded Sulaqa as Catholicos of the
Church of the East and maintained communion with Rome. However, his liturgical books
continued without notable alterations the traditions of the Nestorian Church. Hence, although
this is officially a pontifical of the Chaldean Church, it is practically a Nestorian pontifical.
